An Incredible Personal Experience
This tour is expensive (Still much less than Dr Zahi Hawass's Tours) but this is an incredible experience. You are the only person in the pyramid (in addition to your guide, the officials who guard the pyramids, and the person opens the doors for you). First of all, it is in the middle of the night and nobody is around the pyramids. The feeling you have as you approach the Great Pyramid is amazing.
Inside the pyramid, I needed to catch my breath a couple times. Also I am a little claustrophobic but the energy inside the pyramid was so good that I was able to successfully descend to the pit. Our guide was very knowledgeable and he helped us overcome all obstacles. He also showed us the important energy points. We were also able to see the machinery used by the Japanese Team in discovering the new tunnel. In the end, we left Egypt with unforgettable memories.
Next time, I hope to do Osirion Shaft and the Sphinx VIP visits.

Excellent day in Giza (and VIP Private Great Pyramid Tour)!
What an amazing day we had on our VIP tour of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Our group of four were picked up at our Cairo hotel (in a private minibus) by a driver and our guide, Aref Bakry, and we headed off toward the Giza area. Aref was a fun and knowledgeable Egyptologist, guide and photographer who guided us around the pyramids, took lots of pictures and then organized a fun, memorable camel ride for us. Then we headed over to the Great Pyramid for our VIP tour. We had the whole pyramid to ourselves! We descended over 100 meters (in a narrow passageway) to the pit (crawling part of the way). Then we ascended to the Queen's chamber and the King's chamber. What an educational, interesting and fun experience (and workout)! After our time in the Great Pyramid, Aref continued our tour to the Sphinx (and surrounding area) and then took us for a delicious Egyptian lunch at Rooftop 7000 Restaurant (Great Pyramid Inn) which had a beautiful view of the pyramids and Sphinx. It was such a special day!
We highly recommend Aref Bakry and Tour Egypt Club for all of your Egypt tours!
NOTE: I would recommend this tour if you want to see the inside of the Great Pyramid without the crowds and if you are comfortable with a lot of stairs and small spaces.

Spectacular Private tour of the Sphinx!
This was a custom Tour that Tour Egypt Club set up for us that included a visit inside the Great Pyramid, a stop at Memphis and a visit to Sultan Hassan Mosque, but the first stop was an early morning, private visit to the base of the Sphinx!
This tour requires special ministerial permission and Salma set it all up, flawlessly. She worked to get government permission and organized with each of the entities required (Thank you very much, Salma!) Mahmoud picked us up at 6am to make our 7am visit. He pointed out interesting facts about Cairo along our 45 minute journey. Once we arrived, Ahmed joined us. He is an incredibly knowledgeable and seasoned Tour guide, having studied at length in University around Egyptian history and leading tours for many years!
Arriving early to the Giza Plateau is amazing in itself, but once the gatekeeper opens the gate and walk down to one most iconic statues of the world, to see the Sphinx up close, it is spectacular! We had an hour to take in the beautiful monumental statue, get up close to the dream stele, and take pictures (Mahmoud helped us get approval to take photos). Ahmed took time to explain the history and the significance of the Sphinx and the Dream stele. We had some early morning sun and blue skies that made the Sphinx radiate against the backdrop!
While it was hard to follow up our Sphinx visit, Ahmed took us to a general admission inside the Great Pyramid. Another experience we will never forget. (TEC offers private, after hours tours into the Great Pyramid and this would be another experience we will do next time!). Later we visited Memphis to see the colossal statue of Ramses and other important antiquities. finally we visited Sultan Hassan Mosque (grand and absolutely beautiful!) as well as the Al-Rifa’i Mosque to see the tombs of notable Egyptian leaders.
The tour was a splurge especially due to the private visit to the Sphinx, but I can say that this was one of the most spectacular travel experiences we have had and it's all thanks to Tour Egypt Club! Thank you, Salma, Mahmoud and Ahmed!

Excellent introduction to Egyptian history and sightseeing.
We booked airport pick-up, half day trip to the pyramids and giza necropolis and a half day to the Egyptian museum. Our pick up at the airport went smoothly, we were met by a very friendly driver who told us lots about the city as we drove to the hotel. The next day, we were picked up promptly, by Ahmed and his driver. We were offered different options for our day, and felt that our interests were put first. We were offered snacks and drinks in the car. Ahmed was very knowledgeable about Egypt and explained Egyptian history in simple terms for my curious teenager and was easy to chat with. He was also very funny and friendly with lots of jokes. We appreciated that he let us decide what we wanted to do and did not push us to do stuff, but gave his honest opinion of what was worth doing. The pyramid complex is stunning, and made more interesting by Ahmed. The following day, Ahmed took us to the museum. He showed us the most important pieces and offered useful background information to help understand the history. We could probably spend more time as the Museum is terrific, but 2 hours was just right for us!

A perfect, hassle-free way to experience the Giza pyramids and surrounds
This was a bucket list item finally ticked off. I had been here before many years ago but with a big tour group, and they rushed us so much i missed out on going into the pyramid.
By booking this Private tour with Tour Egypt Club, it was made so much easier by booking this tour as i didnt have the hassle of having to get there- line up for tickets, then walk the entire complex to get from site to site-all of this was done by my most excellent guide Ahmed “jackson” and his driver zouzo. Ahmed was not only very knowledgable- he was a true professional going above and beyond to make sure everything that was said in the tour description was covered, but also helped me add onto this experience by helping me purchase entry into the other pyramid and also helped negotiate a good price for the best camel experience out to view the 9 pyramids of Giza and also took me around to see the Sphynx. All of this took extra time but Ahmed was very patient and made sure i never felt rushed. Plus he was always there if i needed a photo taken. As a bonus to this exceptional tour, a delicious lunch was included in the price.
If you want a perfect day’s experience at the Pyramids of Giza, then i fully recommend doing this Private tour-
And hopefully you too will get Ahmed as a guide.

Really excellent!
The visits to the historic sites were very well explained, the care taken in the answers to our questions has always satisfied us very much. The pyramids and the visit inside were breathtaking and the visit to the sphinx was great. We had an extraordinary meeting with our guide Nassar, whose kindness and attention he showed. He helped us a lot and very well advised.
Thank you very much! We highly recommend!

Visit to the pyramids
Getting to enter the pyramid was an amazing experience. While the tomb is obviously empty, it was still a moving experience. The walk up and down the narrow tunnels with low ceilings left my legs like jelly but it was so worth it! My guide Mohammed was a wealth of information and very helpful.
